Nothing Succeeds Like Success. and
stiek-to-itiveness is sure to
Bring II.

Eighteen years ago last August a
kid commenced to learn the harness
trade in Peoria. He got along right
well, and after serving several years,
accepted a position in Kansas City.
There he worked quite q while.
but like all enterprising youths, he
sought better fields for his labor.
He came 10 Salina thirteen years
ago, and took the management OF
Chas. HOlmquisL's large harness
shop, At good salary. Our
reader will recognize that We refer
to no other person than our young
tOwnsman II. J.. Williams. He held
that responsible position for six
years. and also served IN the same
capacity for Mr. Diehl, Mr.. Holm
quist's successor, fOE.three years.
Four years ago this fall he associ-
ated himself with &. w. Benfield,
and together they put in a small but
well selected stock of goods al No.
l4S Santa Re avenue, aud embarked
in the harness business on their own
responsibility. The large trade that
had always been Lens" and the
extensive acquaintance Of Mr.. Ben
field, made their venture "a success
from the beginning, and slowly but
surely they have pushed forward
until now they are the leading firm
ia this business in the city. Their
stock is always well assorted, and
either something nice or useful can
always be found i'm their shop.
The heavy harmless is all made up
right here under the direct super
vision of Mr.. Williams, out of the
best of material, and their prices are
always within reach of all. In light
and fancy harness il is hard to find
a better assortment in the state. and
they have a splendid trade in this
department. Their whip assortment
il always the best, and you can get
anything you want in this line from
the cheapest To the best. In their
blanket and robe department one
can find plenty to admire, even il
they do not appreciate the value Of
such things. Fine Mohair robes,
that are perfect beauties in them
selves, plain and fancy, in endless
variety, wolf robes can be seen
and even the festive coyote
has been manufactured into a thing
of comfort and elegance, plush robes
Of all kinds, the plain horse blankets
by the dozen, and horse furnishing
goods without end.
Mr.. Williams is u courteous sales
man, aud every one that visits their
establishment il sure of a kindly
welcome. The proprietors are two
of Salinas best and most deserving
young men, and the JOURNAL is
happy to chronicle the fact that their
efforts to please are fully appreciated

After more mature thought the
Methodists have finally decided To
hold their Sunday services at the OPP
era house. As many who attend the
Sunday school live in the country
the usual morning hour seems to be
the only time when il can be held.
We assure our friends of the Chris
tian church that we most heartily
appreciate their kindness in extend
ing to US their church building,
when not occupied by themselves; (;
but taking the interest OfOur sunday
school into consideration, as well a.
other matters pertaining to our own
church service, we deem it best To
go to the opera house ss there we
have the entire day. The service
for next Sunday, then, and for each
Sunday thereafter, until different
notice is given will he as follows:
Sunday school at $3.50, q. m. preaeh-
ing Sunday morning at II O'Clock
and Sunday evening at 7:30. All are
most cordially invited to attend all
Of these services,

Your correspondent from here has
been rather lax i'm his duty lately,and
the readers of the JOURNAL have
been left Ia gather news as best they
could about our enterprising and
inimitaOle city. There is DISPOSE
tiOn on the part of many To write,
when there is no subject, and the re-
suit Is generally To gather up news
not of the most reliable kind-nOt at
all closely related To what should be
the first, last, and guiding point
throughout all newspaper cores
pOndence, namely, truthfulness.
This may be the reason why silence
reigns supreme here, or perhaps at
tentiOn To other duties more press
ing, though not more pleasant, has
left the pen too long upon the rack.
Yet all the while GeneseO goes abe ad
with that indOmitable push and per-
severance which will ultimately
get there though mountains
should stand in the way. To the OBJ
server, however, these are undis-
cernible, and all agree, the resident
and transient alike, that i'm the near
future GeneseO is bound to be one of
the leading cities Of Kansas. In
deed, taking a prospective view Of
the situation, one Is almost led to re-
iterate the original and somewhat
witty remark of the Irishman, who,
standing at the Falls of Niagara
could see nothing wonderful i'm the
great waterfall, asking inquiringly,
"What is to hinder it?" What is 10
hinder GeneseO from being a great
city, Might not any of the ground
less objections advanced by carping
and Jealous rivals have been put
forward a very few years ago against
any Of the cities that are now Occu-
pying very prominent places in the
state? Where is the city to-day in
Kansas or any other State, be their
population what il may, that could
at nine months old, have shown a
better record than GeneseO? And
where is the city with the prospect
of "A more brilliant future? Echo
answers, where? IL is generally
conceded that the material and NOR
al prOpects of a town can be pretty
accurately guaged by two things-its
railroad and its churches. Other
things being equal, give one town
these, and withhold them from its
neighbOr, and note the difference.
In both of these GeneseO comes out
far ahead of any of her sisters Of re-
cent birth. The completion Of the
KanOpOlis & Kansas Central road,
upon which traeklaying is being
rapidly pushed forward at present,
gives her an outlet to all points, and
the erection of the Santa Fe depot,
which will be completed in the next
sixty days, all the competition she
requires To do thriving trade. Her
four churches are either finished, or
nearing completion, and the tone
which pervades her moral atmOs-
phere is far ahead of what is usual
~ found i'm a place so young; being
i'm itself, an abundant reason why
those seeking a home where their
children can be brought up and edu-
Gated to become good and useful citi-
zens of the State, should drive their
stakes firm i'm GeneseO. And this
they are doing day by day, coming
to stay. coming to swell the already
'nOble six hundred" More anon.
